But either way, cutting things is part of game development, you just usually don't hear about it because it's bad marketing. Just be happy the game actually shipped.

Thanks, I never knew this. This is very interesting.
I enjoyed Halo 2 very much, but I was pretty jaded for a while when it came out. I dislike dual wielding...but I love murder ball or whatever that mod is where you hold onto the skull for a minute to win.
Playing murder ball on Lockout...oh man. So frantic and awesome. That's easily one of the best gameplay mods ever.
